What is Foligraf 900IU Pen?
Foligraf 900IU Pen is an injectable fertility medicine made by Bharat Serums. It contains recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (r-FSH) as its active ingredient. The pen comes in a 900 IU strength, built for repeated dosing without needing a separate vial each time. It’s a fertility drug, used mainly in IVF and ovulation treatment cycles.
Who needs this fertility injection?
Doctors prescribe Foligraf 900IU Pen for women who are not producing enough eggs on their own. It helps during IVF cycles where multiple eggs need to grow for collection. Some fertility specialists also use it in men with low sperm count linked to low FSH levels. Common uses include:
- Egg growth during IVF treatment
- Ovulation problems caused by low FSH
- Fertility support in planned pregnancy cycles
How Foligraf 900IU Pen works?
Follicle Stimulating Hormone is a hormone your body already makes. It tells the ovaries to grow eggs inside small fluid sacs called follicles. Foligraf 900IU Pen copies this natural hormone and adds to what the body produces. More FSH reaching the ovaries means more follicles get a chance to grow and mature. In men, the same hormone supports sperm production in the testes.
Side effects to know about
Most side effects from this fertility injection are mild and settle on their own. Some people notice nothing beyond slight discomfort at the injection spot.
- Redness or swelling where the injection is given
- Headache
- Stomach bloating
- Feeling sick
- Mood swings
- Breast tenderness
- Ovary swelling in rare cases (ovarian hyperstimulation)
If you notice sudden stomach pain, fast weight gain, or breathing trouble, get medical help right away. These can point to ovarian hyperstimulation, a condition that needs quick medical attention.
Who should avoid this injection?
This medicine is not right for everyone. Do not take Foligraf 900IU Pen if any of these apply to you:
- You are already pregnant
- You have ovarian cysts that are not linked to polycystic ovary syndrome
- You have unexplained vaginal bleeding
- You have a tumour in the ovary, breast, uterus, or pituitary gland
Tell your doctor about any thyroid problems or past ovarian surgery before starting treatment. Your fertility specialist will check hormone levels before deciding if this injection suits your cycle.
How to store?
Keep the pen in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze it, and keep it away from direct light. Once you start using the pen, check the manufacturer’s leaflet for how many days it stays usable after opening. Do not use it past that point.
Patients often ask if needle size matters. It matters less than people assume. What matters more is keeping the pen cold during transport. This is especially true in summer, when a broken cold chain can lower how well the hormone works.
